Bugged: Twitter Glitch Leaves Users Confused

People across the globe have complained of their likes and retweet count fluctuating on Twitter. A technical glitch on the site saw many people experiencing issues with likes and retweets on their tweets.

Twitter confirmed the issue, and said that it is working on fixing the problem. The micro-blogging site also made an apology for causing unintended inconvenience.

However, the frequent and arbitrary fluctuations triggered speculations about whether it was Twitter’s attempt to crackdown on fake accounts on its platform, or if it was just an attempt to censor the content being posted.

In its official statement, the micro-blogging site said it is working to resolve the problem that has been causing the ‘Like’ and ‘Retweet’ counts on its platform to fluctuate continuously.

Twitter Support tweeted, “Some people around the world are experiencing an issue with notifications, Likes, and Retweets. We’re working on resolving this and will follow up soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

Observed huge fluctuation in RTs. E.g, my tweet announcing “No. 1 brand” reached 600+ RTs, then dropped to 165 & then to 16 within secs. Then it increased to 111 & now 215. All of this over last 1-2 hours. #strangehttps://t.co/bmpRLXy5aj
